Motivated by the bootstrap percolation process for graphs, we define a new, high-order generalisation to $k$-uniform hypergraphs, in which we infect $j$-sets of vertices for some integer $1\le j \le k-1$. We investigate the smallest…

We consider the $2$-neighbor bootstrap percolation process on the $n$-dimensional $q$-ary hypercube with vertex set $V=\{0,1,\dots,q-1\}^n$ and edges connecting the pairs at Hamming distance $1$. We extend the main theorem of…

Graph bootstrap percolation, introduced by Bollob\'as in 1968, is a cellular automaton defined as follows. Given a "small" graph $H$ and a "large" graph $G = G_0 \subseteq K_n$, in consecutive steps we obtain $G_{t+1}$ from $G_t$ by adding…

In $r$-neighbor bootstrap percolation on the vertex set of a graph $G$, a set $A$ of initially infected vertices spreads by infecting, at each time step, all uninfected vertices with at least $r$ previously infected neighbors. When the…

The $r$-neighbour bootstrap process describes an infection process on a graph, where we start with a set of initially infected vertices and an uninfected vertex becomes infected as soon as it has $r$ infected neighbours. An inital set of…

For any integer $r\geqslant0$, the $r$-neighbor bootstrap percolation on a graph is an activation process of the vertices. The process starts with some initially activated vertices and then, in each round, any inactive vertex with at least…

We consider a classic model known as bootstrap percolation on the $n \times n$ square grid. To each vertex of the grid we assign an initial state, infected or healthy, and then in consecutive rounds we infect every healthy vertex that has…

We investigate bootstrap percolation with infection threshold $r> 1$ on the binomial $k$-uniform random hypergraph $H_k(n,p)$ in the regime $n^{-1}\ll n^{k-2}p \ll n^{-1/r}$, when the initial set of infected vertices is chosen uniformly at…

We investigate the behaviour of $r$-neighbourhood bootstrap percolation on the binomial $k$-uniform random hypergraph $H_k(n,p)$ for given integers $k\geq 2$ and $r\geq 2$. In $r$-neighbourhood bootstrap percolation, infection spreads…

For two graphs $F$ and $H$, the relative Tur\'{a}n number $\mathrm{ex}(H,F)$ is the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free subgraph of $H$. Foucaud, Krivelevich, and Perarnau \cite{FKP} and Perarnau and Reed \cite{PR} studied these…

The $r$-neighbor bootstrap percolation is a graph infection process based on the update rule by which a vertex with $r$ infected neighbors becomes infected. We say that an initial set of infected vertices propagates if all vertices of a…

We consider the $d$-neighbor bootstrap percolation process on the $d$-dimensional torus, with vertex set $V=\{1,\cdots,n\}^d$ and edge set $\{xy:\sum_{i=1}^d|x_i-y_i (\text{mod} \; n)|=1\}$. We determine the percolation time up to a…

For $r\geq1$, the $r$-neighbour bootstrap process in a graph $G$ starts with a set of infected vertices and, in each time step, every vertex with at least $r$ infected neighbours becomes infected. The initial infection percolates if every…

Let $H$ be a hypergraph. For a $k$-edge coloring $c : E(H) \to \{1,...,k\}$ let $f(H,c)$ be the number of components in the subhypergraph induced by the color class with the least number of components. Let $f_k(H)$ be the maximum possible…

For fixed $r\geq 2$, we consider bootstrap percolation with threshold $r$ on the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph ${\cal G}_{n,p}$. We identify a threshold for $p$ above which there is with high probability a set of size $r$ which can infect the…

The $r$-neighbour bootstrap process on a graph $G$ begins with a set of infected vertices; subsequently, healthy vertices become infected once they have at least $r$ infected neighbours. The central extremal problem in bootstrap percolation…
